AC Longevity
While the specific number varies among manufacturers, traditional air conditioning units can last 15-20 years. That’s nearly two decades you can go without having to invest in an expensive HVAC replacement for your home – that is, of course, as long as you’re doing your part to regularly check and maintain your AC with a tune-up.
Avoid AC Repairs
If you’ve gone all winter without turning on your AC unit, how will you know if it has a problem when the first hot days of North Carolina summer weather hits? Schedule a tune-up now, when technicians can identify a small issue before you turn it on and run it daily and create an even bigger issue.
Can you install an AC system in the winter?
The short answer is yes, of course. Our team can even maintain and repair your system even if it doesn’t need to be replaced! The AC installation process can run just as smoothly in the winter as it can any other time of year. While there’s no financial incentive or discount when AC is installed during the winter months, it could be much easier to get an appointment with our team. New AC units can be fully tested in the wintertime, too, giving you plenty of time to tweak and understand the system before the heat of summer arrives.
Save Money
Dirty, poorly-functioning AC units cost more to run as they have to work harder than poorly maintained systems. Without a professional tuneup, you could be paying much more than you have to in order to run your AC this summer. Not only that, but your indoor air quality (IAQ) could affect your family and trigger asthma and allergy symptoms.
Seasonal AC Tune-Ups By Fire & Ice
A Seasonal Tune-up is one of the most looked over tasks that the homeowner does not know about. When a seasonal tune-up is properly accomplished it can help to lower the homeowner’s electrical or fuel bill. Seasonal tune-ups need to be accomplished twice a year. Once in the summer and once in the winter – preferably in the beginning of each appropriate season. Do not forget to ask one of our consultants about a seasonal tune-up agreement.
When performing a seasonal tune-up, we: check the condenser, the evaporator, the compressor, operating temperatures, and the operating pressures of the Freon. If applicable the grease zerks are greased and the belts are inspected. Our service is very affordable and performing this maintenance can save you hundreds of dollars by preventing you from a heater repair.
